The Aldermen Dispose of Old Business.
The spirit pervading the meeting of the Board
of Aldermen last night seemed to be to clear up
the files in the most expeditions manner, and let
alone all matters that promised to afford any
difference of opinion. A number OF lamp-post
ordinances were stricken from the files. Several
alleys and sidewalks will also remain unim-
proved by reason of this same kindly regard for
the welfare Of the next board The third read
ing of ordinances showed that Alderman
Pritchard had been considering for three years
many ordinances relating to the erection
of safety gates at different railroad
crossings Mr. Pritchard seemed dazed by these
and other ordinances that had been committed
to his care and TO relieve him OF further respon-
sibility they were stricken from the files. In
the course of the session four ordinances for the
Improvement OF streets and alleys were passed.
An ordinance reported from the Council author
izing the appropriation of s62, 1914 % to pay the
interest due on bonds Jan. 1. read the third
time and passed. The viaduct ordinance came
up again, but was not acted on. The sentiment
of the Aldermen this question is to defer all
action until the new board meets.

Effectiveness by the application of
swamp muck, which previously were
aere beds of sand with little, if any
cropping value. A farmerin Jackson
county, Wisconsin, raised the past dry
season 1915 worth of strawberries fr0n
one acre, besides proportionatevalue
of vegetables from sandy land treated
with mack until there wasSa fine dark
soil twelve to fourteen inches.in depth
His land adioined a large deposit of
swamp muck, and during winter he
commenced taking the muck from
section twelve feet wide, right through
the middle of the swamp, digging down
to the underlying sand to- q varying
depth of three to four feet. The muck
was thrown upon sleds standing on
top of the beds, each side of the trench,
and hauled and dumped on the field.
After the trench was opened, the de-
posit being exposed to the. action Of the
air and frost, the bottom and sides of
the trench became frozen- and the
sleds were then driven to- the trench
and muck thrown into. them from the
deposit on each side, thus saving much
labor This process being continued
until the amount needed was drawn
upon the land. The process being
continued day by day little trouble was
experienced from the muck freezing in
the sides of the cut. and the surface be-
ing protected by weeds, grass, and
snow, rarely froze more than an inch
or two in depth, even during SO cold a
winter as our last.
